Gracias desde Chile, me sirvió mucho, estaba buscando la tapa del radiador 😮, pero parece que solo se hace el relleno y cambio desde el depósito. GRACIAS
So that you don't trap any air in the system start the car and let it warm up with the cap OFF of the coolant reservoir. When the engine gets warm keep squeezing the radiator hoses to burp air out of the system. Always check the level every day for a few days to see if the level goes down from coolant replacing any air pockets.
Yeah in the manual it shows the full mark right under the seam
Doing this in my wife’s 18 rav4. Thank you brother.
I've set up a play list for my RAV4 videos. Thanks for watching!

I was looking for the radiator cap too. Anything to save a Peso! Thanks for watching!
Coolant level adjustment procedure: let the vehicle cool down overnight. In the morning fill the expansion to the LOW mark level.
Excellent video. Could you please make another video for the 2018 Toyota RAV4 hybrid about how to replace the electric motor coolant?
Sorry, I don't have access to a hybrid model. It may be similar to the '07 Prius. I have a video on changing the hybrid cooler on that.
Hola, consulta:
¿Lo pusiste en marcha con el embudo puesto, sin cerrar el deposito con su tapa?

Must use OEM coolant? or zerex asian fine?
I know that the Toyota coolant is formulated for their head gaskets. I don't know enough about after market coolants to recommend a replacement.
@@davidgpo where did you read this head gasket thing?
@@sugarytv It's commonly known that dissimilar metals corrode when in contact. You have aluminum heads and block with a steel gasket.
@@davidgpo appreciate the response, it made me more relieved in paying $40 per gallon for OEM coolant
What is the inner diameter of the hose you attached to the drain cock?
5/16"
@@davidgoldberg Thanks
What size hose?
The drain hose?
@@davidgpo He said 5/16" I.D.
On my 2017 I used a 11/32" hose onto the rad drain. I think a 3/8" will also work.
Is it just 1 gallon that you had to use for refill ?
1-1/2 gallons. Thanks for watching.
On my 2017 the manual says it holds 6.8 Litres, 1.8 U.S. liquid gallons.
Get two gallons
